Congrats to WI Member ThePinkNinja04 on their adoption of the 10 Year Magic W Pup. Webster is pictured here in his Pet Specific Item (PSI) The Happy Ten Years Bed. This pet comes with an additional two PSI items: The Happy Ten Years Wallpaper, and Happy Ten Years Flooring (also pictured). The Pet Specific Food for the 10 Year Magic W Pup is the Magic Ice Pop.

Is the 10 Year Magic W Pup one you want to add to your collection? If so, you may want to pick it up soon! StLouisCutie184 alerted the WI Community earlier this week, that Ganz has announced (via their Facebook page) this popular pup has sold out of its warehouse. If you are interested in adding this special plush pet to your collection, you are strongly advised to purchase it as soon as possible from your local Webkinz Store.

For our members who are unable to find the 10 Year Magic W Pup in store, or would rather a vitual only option, Ganz has released an online only version of this pet on the Ganz eStore. The virtual only version of this special pet includes the same PSI items and PSFs. The only thing that is not included is the Plush toy! For a collector of virtual pets, or someone unable to find the Plush toy, this is a fantastic option to celebrate Webkinz World's tenth anniversary!

Earlier this week, Webkinz Newz announced via Twitter a new app titled 'MEERKINZ' which will be launched for Android, Windows, and iOS devices in May 2015. This app is the first in a new series of Webkinz Media apps which will allow users "to interact with their pets in new and exciting ways." Thanks to the new technology available through the live-streaming app Meerkat, Webkinz Users will be able to explore new features in Webkinz World without the need of a computer.

According to the press release, Webkinz World is a very active environment, even when users are not logged in and participating: "What users don't realize, is that outside of the time they play in Webkinz World, their pets are very active -- and enjoy visiting their friends around Webkinz World." Once installed, MEERKINZ connects with your Webkinz World account to enable live-streaming video of your pets daily activity. You can check in throughout the day, and see what mischief your pets are causing as well: "We didn't want to tell our users about this secret world of webkinz. Many users have reported over the years disappearing items, redecorated rooms, and pets in new outfits. This was all done by the Webkinz while the user is offline. It is not uncommon for pets to trade items among each other."
